Y'know, the gif has inspired me to watch the original movies before Rises hits. someone needs to make a rewatch thread, would be awesome, for the B&R comments alone.

I'd be very down to watch all the prior Batman films. I think it could be tolerable if I knew the rest of Bat-GAF was suffering with me

“BRUCE WAYNE has always had this need, this drive to take action because of the tragedy that befell him.”

“He’s not in the healthiest of places, in many ways,” says Bale of his now-reclusive character.

If the theme of Batman Begins was fear, and The Dark Knight was a meditation on chaos, is TDKR all about pain? “That’s constant throughout,” admits Bale. “But I think it’s more about him feeling the consequences of a life that’s entirely directed by pain, and holding onto that pain, and just how long he can do that. It’s about making the decision to continue [being Batman] in order to maybe self-destruct, or whether he can find some kind of rebirth, to be himself. There’s a certain amount of reflection.”

Which isn’t to say we’re in for yawning stretches of Bruce brooding in the Bat-cave. “Chris is very good at recognizing the kind of movie that we’re making, that we’re not making a little character piece,” asserts Bale. “There’s no reason why you can’t have a substantial amount of character in it, but we’re not going to go so far that people say, “This is no longer the excitement that I’m looking for.”

“I would say that in terms of brutality, this one exceeds the last one,” reveals Bale. “This is the first episode that Batman’s ever physically been taken.”

“BANE is a brute,” says Emma Thomas, naming the thorn in Batman’s side. “I think what’s great about this villain is that The Joker is all about mind games and messing with people, whereas Bane is about physical strength. We’re giving Batman someone truly worthy of him. It’s not just brute force. He’s really switched on.”

Bale concurs: “There’s true belief and ideology there.”

How did Tom Hardy attain his bulk? “Eating entire villages of chickens. I started I was about 160-something pounds. When I was done I was 190. You lift weights. You eat. You lift some more weights. You don’t run anywhere because if you do cardio, you drop weight. So it’s really good for heart attacks!”

Is his mask uncomfortable? “It’s not as bad as you might think. You just put it on. Work out where your drool goes. That’s it. Mask work is good fun. This one wasn’t painful; there was the stunt mask and there was the up-close one for the sexy glam shots.”

“I will, when I build certain characters, take a soupcon of different things,” Hardy explains looking up from the spirally doodle he’s been doing. “Like Kermit the Frog. I’ll put a bit of Kermit in there. I’ll take Robert De Niro from Taxi Driver, mix him up with animals and different characters, add a voice and then go home. I know my guy. He has a lot of people in it.”

“No, there’s no Kermit in Bane,” he laughs. “Absolutely fucking not!”

“CATWOMAN is an incredible role,” Anne Hathaway reminds TF. “It’s one of the most famous comic-book characters for a woman. But, also, it’s Catwoman in this franchise.” It looks like Nolan’s on a course to honor the moral ambiguity that defines the character at her best. “It’s hard to talk about Selina Kyle because she’s intensely private and mysterious. She has her own ethics, which can involve doing things other people might consider questionable. I’m sure if you were to talk to her, she would be able to explain them to you.”

Combining stunt training with dance choreography - for that all-important feline grace – its Hathaway’s most physical role since the spy games of Get Smart. She found it “somewhat overwhelming” but here enthusiasm didn’t wane. “There were some days when I was wearing the catsuit for a long time and I had to fight 15 guys, and I just wanted to shout from the rooftops how excited I am.” She vividly describes Nolan as “like Hitchcock with an automatic”. “Chris is so intelligent and his instincts are dead on. He understands lighting. He understands pace. He understands writing. He understands costumes, for God’s sake!”

Will Smith and Brad Pitt didn't turn down Inception, they were just in the initial discussion when Nolan was talking it over with WB.

The biggest real turn down recently was Matt Damon turning down Harvey Dent, I think Matt even talked about it during a recent interview.

Damon turned down roles in the #1 and #3 highest grossing domestic movies ever :lol

That's not true. In a 5-minute sequence removed from Batman Forever, Bruce gets amnesia from the near headshot by Two-Face.

He had amnesia for 5 minutes! Batman was almost permanently down forever!
 
From videos, sneak peeks, and in-depth information--such as the Applied Sciences environment that will give users a history of batgear such as Batman’s suit and his badass car, the Tumbler, or back stories on characters and Gotham City itself--new content will be released regularly leading up to the film’s July 20 opening. As the pièce de résistance, the site will also include an opportunity for fans to enter product codes to win exclusive prizes, such as one of only five scripts signed by Christopher Nolan.

But I quit soda last July...
 
I have a feeling I'm going to sympathize more with Bane in this movie like I did with Joker, which means it's going to be tough seeing him be overtaken by Batman and his crew of friends since 'good' has to win in the end. Joker it was okay because he went out with dignity/style and didn't really fail. We'll see what happens with Bane though.

You will not sympathize with Bane. At all.

I might if he considers himself a 'revolutionary' which seems to be what's hinted at with the liberation talk. I haven't read much since I don't want to be spoiled though so I don't know what his problem is exactly I'll wait and see.
